# My monstera peru has been doing so well \& put out 4 new leaves this…

My monstera peru has been doing so well \& put out 4 new leaves this month, but now 2 of the older leaves are yellowing. It’s new within the last week. All of the trailing leaves are connected to the same vine as the yellowing leaves, so I’m hoping to fix it!

I think this is probably from overwatering? I don’t water often, but it’s all I can think of. The leaves are just dirty in the pic after a windy day.

Should I cut the yellowing leaves? Cut more?

(Last pic is before recent growth spurt, pre-yellowing)

Hmmm those small spots on the second picture, do they move? 🤔

some of the spots are dust and some are dead fuzzy aphids! There were so many recently :(

Hi! The first picture looks like uneven watering due to the yellowing on only one side of the leaf. Maybe try slowly watering the plant

That’s so interesting! I just noticed it’s rootbound, so maybe that’s part of the problem. Should I cut off these leaves?

It definitely needs a reporting to bigger one it’s probably suffocated or struggled to absorb water  
I’m not sure about cutting leaves off as it may be possible to still safe it - if not then just cut it off ☺️
